This project is the next step in the Sustainable Sidewalk project which has been going since 2015. These new and previously made mixtures have a lower carbon footprint than traditional portland cement concrete and have been shown to have enhanced durability. Ideally, we had hoped to find a mixture that allowed for the concrete, which normally requires heat to cure, to be cured ambiently, or in room temperature conditions.enUniversity of Minnesota DuluthUndergraduate Research Opportunities ProgramSwenson College of Science and EngineeringDepartment of Civil EngineeringScholarly Text or Essay
